Climbing up from smoking downstairs, Dulcina Calvo helped Mother Dulcina finish the dishes as well.
As soon as Dulcina Calvo saw Esteban Zaragosa approaching, she ran up to him and asked in a whisper, “My father hasn’t hit you, has he? He hasn’t given you a hard time, has he?”.
Although she asked her question in a whisper, Pueblo Dulcina heard her and, with a frown, looked at her daughter, “Does your father seem like such a rough man? Does he hit people at the drop of a hat? Besides, he’s so big, how can I hit him?”.
Dulcina Calvo stuck her tongue out at her father, “You hit someone indiscriminately this afternoon!”.
“That’s not even if he wants to protect you himself!”
Esteban Zaragosa’s chest got hot when he saw the fight between father and daughter, and with a soft face he explained to Dulcina Calvo: “My uncle and I just went downstairs to smoke for a while.”
Dulcina Calvo’s little nose sniffed and she did smell smoke: “Dad, why do you smoke with Esteban Zaragosa? You both have to stop smoking! Smoking is bad for your health.
Pueblo Dulcina’s face smiled slightly at her daughter’s scolding, but she still feigned impatience, “I know, why are you becoming as nagging as your mother at such a young age? When your mother was your age, she wasn’t as naggy as you.”
Mother Dulcina came out of the kitchen with a coffee pot, “What are you talking about, I made a coffee pot, Esteban Zaragosa has come to our house and hasn’t had a sip of coffee, now it’s time to finish eating, come and have coffee. ”
Dulcina Calvo narrowed her smile and said, “Good.”
Once in the living room, the two men drink coffee and the two women eat fruit.
Finally, Mother Dulcina stopped eating and Dulcina Calvo was left alone on the couch with her plate of fruit, like a child, cross-legged, watching TV and eating the fruit with a fork.
Mother Dulcina glared at her daughter and reached out to slap her hand lightly, “Why are you so unruly, have you cut the fruit plate just for yourself?”
Dulcina Calvo muttered, “It’s not like my father eats fruit.”
“So people don’t eat Esteban Zaragosa?”
Dulcina Calvo said with a certain smugness, “He won’t eat it, he will only eat it if I can’t finish it.”
Mother Dulcina: “… that you carry as a child”.
Esteban Zaragosa looked at the little girl with an affectionate look and said lightly to Mother Dulcina, “It’s with me, she’s always watching TV with a fruit bowl in her arms, she spoils her eating alone.”
Mother Dulcina froze and then said with a frown, but seriously, “How can you mess that up, it’s not good to develop bad habits in the future.”
Mother Dulcina’s affection for her future son-in-law went up another notch, as she never expected that this Esteban Zaragosa would love Dulcina so much.
Unfortunately, now that I have accepted this future son-in-law, I really like everything.
This man, handsome, tall, with a great temperament, Dulcina had told him that he was a doctor, and look at his hands, long and beautiful, with well-defined bones, very thin, and in the future, Esteban Zaragosa and Dulcina would have a beautiful son.
Mother Dulcina gets excited just thinking about it, we are gathering her grandchildren!
You must educate your grandchildren well so that they will be good and obedient and grow up to be doctors, just like their parents.
The corners of Mother Dulcina’s mouth curled up in happiness at the thought.
Dulcina Calvo bit into a piece of melon and looked at her mother: “Mom, what are you thinking, you’re smiling from ear to ear. Mom, did you win the lottery recently?”.
Mother Dulcina stopped laughing immediately and looked at Dulcina Calvo: “Come on, come on, don’t talk nonsense, how could your mother, a sensible person like me, buy any lottery ticket?”.
“It’s all smiles, what else can it be but winning the lottery.”
“Eat your fruit and watch your television.”
After Mother Dulcina’s assault on Dulcina Calvo, Dulcina meekly frowned and went back to eating fruit and watching TV.
As soon as Mother Dulcina turned her head, she was playing house with Esteban Zaragosa.
“Oh Esteban, have all your parents met Dulcina?”
Since they are really getting married, both parents have to get together, otherwise it seems that their Dulcina is in a hurry to get married.
At the mention of her parents, Dulcina Calvo’s eyes twitched slightly and she hastened to rub it in, “Mom, Esteban Zaragosa’s parents are not as free as you are retired, his parents are abroad and rarely come home …”
Before the words fell out, Esteban Zaragosa spoke honestly: “Tia, my parents passed away unexpectedly when I was very young. So, technically, I don’t have a family now.”
Esteban Zaragosa knew, of course, that Dulcina Calvo feared that Pueblo DulcinaMadre Dulcina would hold a grudge against him for being fatherless, but it was one of those things that, the first time they are hidden, the second and third time, sooner or later, they are known.
Besides, in his heart, Dulcina Calvo was already his wife, his family, and later his parents would also become his family, and he did not want to deceive them.
Both Pueblo Dulcina and Mother Dulcina were stunned when they heard this.
Mother Dulcina mused, “Oh, so … you’re a poor boy.”
Esteban Zaragosa nodded slightly and added, “But now I have Dulcina and the baby, and I have kinship in this world, again.”
Mother Dulcina smiled on second thought and said, “It’s a good thing the Dulcinas won’t have to deal with our in-laws in the future, and if you two don’t have time to take care of the kids at work, you can leave them with us.
“Good.”
Dulcina Calvo glared at her mother, “Mom, I think you just want grandchildren.”
“Ch, do you know how exhausting it is to raise a child? If it weren’t for the fact that you have to work and raise children at the same time, I wouldn’t be happy to do it for you!”
Esteban Zaragosa said, “Tia, when Dulcina gets a little older, she can quit her job and become a full-time wife at home if she wants to, and I can support her for the rest of her life.”
Thus, the children will not have to bother the two old men with them.
Mother Dulcina said, “No, Dulcina is too old to be a rice worm at home if she doesn’t work. It’s better for a girl to have her own career. I know you love her, but you’ll be tired. The most important thing between a couple is sharing, that’s what lasts.”
Dulcina Calvo growled, “Mom, I’m your own daughter, why are you suddenly favoring Esteban Zaragosa now? You don’t like that they let me stay home and enjoy myself.”
“I’m doing it for your own good.”
Mother Dulcina then said, “So, since your parents are deceased and there is no one to officiate the wedding, why don’t Dulcina’s father and I do it?”
Esteban Zaragosa nodded, “Everything is fine.”
Dulcina Calvo said in a rush, “But I have to pick out my own wedding dress and stuff, you and my dad have that eye, it’s so corny.”
Mother Dulcina scorned Dulcina Calvo’s head with her finger: “The dead child doesn’t know any better”.
…
When it was time to go to bed, Mother Dulcina called Dulcina Calvo, who had just finished her bath.
“I will sleep in your room with you at night, and you let Esteban sleep in our room with your father.”
Dulcina Calvo made a bitter face: “Mom, I don’t want to sleep with you, you snore while you sleep and I can’t sleep in the middle of the night”.
“What are you talking about dead boy, you can’t sleep with Esteban anyway. “
